Dj, that looks to be the same material and concept. Get the James to tune it up on the belt sander and get some point to it and it may go in better.

Trent if you would leave Alan at the truck you would not have to worry about anyone jumping and yelling when a hog is caught!!!!  When we going to go hunt?? Im out all summer....I know you are going... I hear you got ya a boat now Yeah, especially if Cowboy finds a hog, he will be out there yelling and doing flips around the hog..  I HAD a boat...  ... took it back because it wouldnt start, needed several more parts, and what the tpwd said it would cost to have it registered without a signed title or bill of sale was more than what it was worth.... Just let me know when you want to go.... after today i may be down to just my Molly pup as far as strike dogs.... |

Choking them off works but if you have a catchdog that lives very long and catches many hogs you will eventually damage his throat and breathing especially if you hunt much in the summer. A break stick will save a lot of unnecessary damage. Slide it in their mouth , twist it ,shove their head toward the hog and pull back quick. Once you get the hang of it you can break all them dogs off a hog that have "lock jaws" or "can't be broke off" in just a few seconds.  |

Yea, I think that it has a lot to do with my strength and I just need to keep trying until I get the hang of it. I only tried it once and failed. A friend of ours took over and he pushed down on the break stick and got the dog off. I was thinking that by pushing down on the stick that i would damage the roof of his mouth and thats why I asked if I was doing it wrong, because I was trying to twist the break stick to force his jaw open a bit. |

dj you do need to twist the stick as much as you can , all it takes is a little. When you push the dog's mouth into the hog it makes most dogs want to get a bigger mouthful and they will open their mouth just enough so that you can get a little twist on the stick and then pull back as quick as you can. Timing and technique is they key. A little practice and you will be showing everybody else up in no time..  |

Smiley If you always use the breakstick, after awhile they will get used to it and it will get easier. I hunted with a guy that had the most handle I had ever seen on a bulldog. He could walk him with no lead to 10 feet from a bay and send him by command. He would catch like a bulldog should. He would tap him on the head twice and he would let go and back up about 3 feet and sit by the hog as the guy would tie him. He would cut and release hogs and the dog would never move. I was amazed and still have not seen that kind of handle on any bulldog. |
